UK Department for Business and Trade
Redbox document search and summarisation assistant
The UK trade department's Redbox trial had around 50 daily active users in February 2025
Problem
Department staff needed to locate and understand information across large document collections.
Approach
DBT developed Redbox with contractor support. Staff uploaded documents and asked questions in English. The system combined document retrieval with Claude 3 Sonnet on Amazon Bedrock, and users were responsible for checking answers against cited material.
Results
Takeaway
The trial demonstrated recurring staff use. DBT did not publish a quantified time saving in its transparency record.
